Title: How "not" to plug a tire!

Saturday I walked by a lift on a construction site that had a plugged tire..........and I thought you guys might get a chuckle out of seeing it.

I don't know if they did this just so they could get through the rest of the day.......until it could be repaired properly. It looked like they got into their lunch box and used a pack of "SLIM JIMS" to make a temporary fix!

Only has to hold 10-20 lbs. Probably a permanent fix...if it doesn't extract itself. Needs to be trimmed.

I got 9 in a pick up truck tire after I pulled out craftsmen 5/8 combination wrench out of the tread , the box end went thru the tread and open end was completely ground away. I still have and use what's left of the wrench. 9 plugs and a can of fix a flat got me home, 250 miles , guy at the tire shop was laughing his a$$ off !
